Performance Jersey?
«
on:

I'd like to make myself a couple of long sleeve base layer tops and polo tops for horse riding (can't justify $80 on a "brand" one!!)
Here's
what I'm trying to replicate
I've found
Simplicity 8704
.
Now I need to find the appropriate fabric. I'm not that familiar with knits so would appreciate some help! I'd love the fabric to be moisture wicking, SPF if possible, and not too shiny! Something with a bit of Merino would be amazing for the depths of winter but not absolutely necessary. Probably going to have to order online as I've never seen the kind of fabric I need in stores.
Are these the kinds of fabric I'm looking for?

I've ordered a few samples from activefabrics.co.uk to get me started!
